1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: All right, the tip to field. It is Sunday, April

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, and the Yankees were kicking off a doubleheader

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: against the Blue Jays. Max Freed on the mound in

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: game one. Also, Devin Williams officially out as the Yankees' closer.

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: Plus Luis Heel could be making his return soon. My recap,

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territory, one of.

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: The two cats.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: All all right, welcome back, everybody. Welcome back. April twenty seventh,

9
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: and the Yankees just picked up an impressive eleven to

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: two win against the Toronto Blue Jays. Twelve hits in

11
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: the game for the Yankees. Also, I want to give

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: a congratulations to all the Mets fans out there. I mean, sorry,

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: not Mets Knicks fans. Fuck the Mets fans. Knicks fans

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: picked up a win. They lead their series three to one.

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: It was pretty windy at the stadium in the early

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: part of the game today, and I felt like that

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: might have messed with the pitchers a little bit. Gossman

18
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: had all sorts of trouble with the Jays. He had

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: five walks today, and then Schultz had a couple of walks.

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: Freed at a couple of walks early, but I feel

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: like after the win settled down a little bit, the

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: pitching was able to settle back in, and Freed was

23
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: able to settle back in. He pitched great. Schneider left

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Gossman out there to just cook Man, he had a

25
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: fifty pitch inning in the third, refused to pull him.

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: Yankees ended up blowing open the game with a six

27
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: run inning, and the Yankees just basically pulled away from there.

28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: And you know, Volpi went deep today, so he's going

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: to give the kid a little bit of appreciation. He's

30
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: been struggling. Good day for Aaron Judge, who is still

31
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: hitting four to twelve. He had a multi hit game

32
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: too for four ops is sitting at one point two

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: to one four. I was hoping that he would be

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: the next guy to hit four home runs in a game.

35
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: We almost saw him do it earlier this year, but

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: then last night Eugenio Suarez dashed those hopes with the

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: d Backs. He had an amazing game, four home runs,

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: and hey, that's where we're at. We got to make

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: this post game quick because the Yankees have another game

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: coming up in about a half an hour. So we're

41
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: gonna have to do a quick turnaround a little doubleheader

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: of our own today. Let's move on with the recap.

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's go, let's get it going. Game twenty

44
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: seven of one hundred sixty two Max Freed now five

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: and oh with the Yankees. We had a three run

46
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: double by Wells, another throwing error by Oswalda Cabrera to

47
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: begin the game. I'll tell you what, he's been shaky

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: with those throws over there. He's missing high, he's air mailing,

49
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: and that's dangerous because you get extra bases and I've

50
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: got runerund base a lot of times they can score.

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: Blue Jay's had a very soft run in first inning.

52
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: Freed through a ton of pitches, but ultimately the Jays

53
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: did leave the bases loaded, so Freed was able to

54
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: pitch out of it. And then the third inning was

55
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: where the Yankees really just rallied opened up the game.

56
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: You had walks to Cabrera and Rice, you had judge

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: single off the right field wall, and then a productive

58
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: out from Cody Bellinger. Now we do have a call

59
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: about Cody Bellinger, who is off to a bit of

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: a slow start. He was one for three today, but

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: he's finally off the interstate. He's hitting two hundred, but

62
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: the ops still at five ninety four, which is not

63
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: ideal for a guy who today hitting the third spot.

64
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: But I do want to say he is a quality

65
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: baseball player, like I enjoy watching him run the bases.

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I enjoy watching him play center field. He gets productive

67
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: out so even if he isn't hitting, he's still bringing

68
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: some value to the team right now. I like watching

69
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: him run the bases, especially, He's one of the better

70
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: base runners that the Yankees have had in a while.

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Him and Domingos Gossman just lost the zone, you know,

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: walk after walk after walk to he loaded the bases

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: and then Austin Wells came up and he was just

74
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: fouling off all these pitches, and I tweeted, you know,

75
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: if he throws that pitch again, Wells might put it

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: in the seats because he was right on it. And

77
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: then he ripped one off the right field wall for

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: a three run double. That was the big blow in

79
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: the game, six run inning, and you start to wonder,

80
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, how is Max free gonna respond because he

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: had to sit for basically thirty five minutes in the

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: bottom of the third, but then he was strong and

83
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: he went flawless the rest of the way, fourth, fifth,

84
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: and sixth inning. He retired nine in a row to

85
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: end his outing. So fantastic performance for Max Reed. We'll

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: talk more about him when we get to the pitcher spotlight.

87
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi first home run since April, second pop old

88
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: pop o, fifth home run of the season. They spent

89
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot of time in this telecast talking about how

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: he put something together on Friday night, how he was

91
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: having better swings. He noticed things in batting practice. Now

92
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: you might notice if you're watching the highlights of them

93
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: taking VP, which they show on like the batting practice

94
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: sometimes on the batting practice show rather or on the pregame,

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: they have iPads hooked up and they have all these

96
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: cameras and stuff, and they track things like swing path

97
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: and you know how hard the ball's coming off the bat.

98
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: And something apparently clicked for Volpie on Friday night. Let's

99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: hope he continues it. He did have a couple of

100
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: hits today. He was two for three with a couple

101
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: of runs and a couple of RBIs. He also had

102
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: a walk. He's up to two sixteen, so he was

103
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: well under two hundred there for a bit, so hopefully

104
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: climbing in the right direction. Now. I know a lot

105
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: of you hate it when he hits home runs because

106
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: that gets him thinking, well, I'm a home run hitter again.

107
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I want to see him be more of a line

108
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: drive guy. I know a lot of you do too.

109
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: We've talked about this ad nauseum. I don't want to

110
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on it, but home run.

111
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: At least it was an opposite field shot. You'll take

112
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: those opposite field shots every day. I don't want him

113
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: bailing out of his shoes to try and hit the

114
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: ball in the left field bleachers. Two run double by

115
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Oswaldo Carbrera made it nine to one. You know, wells

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: hit another one off the centerfield wall. He had a

117
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: couple of doubles today. He has now got let's see,

118
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: five doubles on the season, and he's climbing up with

119
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: the average. He was, you know, really really struggling there

120
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 1: for a while under two hundred. He's up to two thirteen,

121
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: the ops up to seven to twenty five. So moving

122
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I feel like he's been one

123
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: of our most unlucky hitters. Remember you hit that one

124
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: that hit the very top of the wall and came

125
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: back in the field. He had a couple down there

126
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: in Tampa and George Emsteinbernerfield that got knocked down by

127
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: the wind, and you know, I just feel like his

128
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: results have not matched the type of bats that he

129
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: has had. So I'm feeling good about Wells right now.

130
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: A nice job by Domingus to score from first base

131
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: on that double by Carbrera. By the way, he can

132
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: absolutely motor on the basis RBI double for Goldschmidt for

133
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: the tenth run of the game for the Yankees, booming

134
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: shit to right field, and again more solid base running

135
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: from Bellinger there. Nice to have some good runners on

136
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: the squad this year. Tyler Matzik came in to pitch

137
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: the ninth inning and he struck out class A with

138
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: a disgusting down and in slider. Also gave up a

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: couple of shots that went over Bellinger's head, went over

140
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Dominga's head. Domingez it actually hit off his glove, but

141
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna blame him on that. That ball was

142
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: absolutely smoked. Tyler Matsik, just from the first time I've

143
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: watched him pitch fastball isn't what it used to be.

144
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: It used to be ninety seven, ninety eight, it's now

145
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: ninety three ninety four. But the slider looked good. That

146
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: slider to Class A was vintage. It was down and in.

147
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: You can see why they like him and the metrics.

148
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: I want to see what the metrics are on that.

149
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: But it was filthy. But Yankees hang on to take

150
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: game one of the doubleheader, yiker, and there we go.

151
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Yankees win their sixteenth game of the season, and hopefully

152
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: in about thirty minutes they'll have another march to victory

153
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: in the nightcap. In the nightcap, the pitching matchup is

154
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: as follows. Let's see here. Sorry, should have had this up.

155
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: Chris Bassett, who's really good at two to one with

156
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: a one point eight eight e R versus Clark Schmidt.

157
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing a lineup posted yet, but hopefully we'll

158
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: get that soon. If somebody sees the lineup posted, just

159
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: let me know. But let's go ahead and give out

160
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: the belt. Let's move along quickly. Here Max free belt

161
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: number three on the year for him. He is now

162
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: five to zero after another tremendous, tremendous performance, and he's

163
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: really stepped up, really really stepped up. I want to

164
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: give some honorable mentions for the belt today. Austin Wells

165
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: with a couple of doubles with the three RBI game,

166
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi with a couple of it's including the home run,

167
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: and you know, Judge, another multi hit game. Didn't drive

168
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: in a bunch of runs, but pretty good performance. Todd

169
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: Reid says that this would have been a perfect ninth

170
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: inning for Williams. We had another call about that. I'll

171
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: go ahead and play it, hey.

172
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 2: Derek, and be here Mary Beth, and here we go.

173
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: All it doesn't seem to be playing, Okay, stop playing.

174
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: We got a call from Mary Beth about that. She

175
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: said that it would have been the perfect basically the

176
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: perfect time to bring in Devin Williams with a big lead.

177
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you, although I wouldn't count on him

178
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: not blowing a ten run lead right now. All right,

179
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: let's move on to the pitcher spotlight sor ry for

180
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: the technical difficulties. Mary Beth, we'll get you next time.

181
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: So you look at the stats from free six innings,

182
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: six hits, one run, it was earned, two walks and

183
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: three strikeouts. Consistency personified man. Last time out, he threw

184
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: one hundred and two pitches and had sixty four this

185
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: time one hundred and one pitches, sixty five strikes. So

186
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: he's like the pitching version of a metronome. Six innings

187
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: of one run baseball for the ace, who is now

188
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: five and zero one point four to three ERA to

189
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: begin the season. He was at one point four to

190
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: two in the beginning when the game began and was

191
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: able to basically keep it in that same ballpark. So look,

192
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: he's not flashy, he doesn't do a bunch of fist pumping.

193
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: He's just dirty. He's just better than you, and he

194
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: pounds the strike zone. He's gutsy. He picks guys off,

195
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: picking another guy off a second today. Really really nice job.

196
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Imagine how good. Just allow yourself to dream for a minute.

197
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: He keeps pitching like this, you know, with whatever, you know,

198
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: the great stuff, and maybe he's unlocked something with Matt Blake.

199
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: Just keeps dominating. And then next year you get Garrett

200
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: Cole back and healthy. That's gonna be a great one too.

201
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: And I think Max Freed might be the new number

202
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: one after the surgery to Garrett Cole And we'll see

203
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: what Louis Heel turns into. You know, Carlos Rodin at

204
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: number four. You know he's kind of up and down,

205
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: but he'll give you a good start once in a while.

206
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: He was great last time out, So you'll allow yourself

207
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: to dream a little bit. Speaking of dreams, we have

208
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: a new closer. Devin Williams is out as the Yankees closer.

209
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone says it could be temporary. I say it's

210
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: probably not, just having seen what I seen. Unless Luke

211
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Weaver turns into a pumpkin or gets hurt, I can't

212
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: see them pulling him out of that spot. Weaver is filthy,

213
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: he's confident, he's composed, he is completely in control. He's

214
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: everything that Williams has not been. And the results haven't

215
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: been just bad for Devin Williams. They have been historically bad.

216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: And sometimes the body language is even worse than the statline.

217
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: The last couple of times out, I would make that

218
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: case two times out or ago, he went an inning,

219
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: he gave up three hits, four runs, three earned runs,

220
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: one walk, no strikeouts. And then yesterday or two days ago,

221
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: no outs, two hits, three runs, no walks and no strikeouts.

222
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: He said, nothing's working from you know, the captain obvious department.

223
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: But you can't be that guy in the ninth Inny.

224
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: Something has to work. You gotta have multiple things working.

225
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: This is the most important part of the game. And

226
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: his body language has just been awful. He looks checked out.

227
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: He looks like a guy who's already picturing, you know,

228
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: where he wants to play next. But he's got to

229
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: start pitching better if he wants to get a contract

230
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: in the offseason. That's why I think it might be

231
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: the best move for the Yankees to just go ahead

232
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: and trade him. Take some of that pressure off, let

233
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: him go pitch like you know, Seattle or Oakland or

234
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, some someplace where you know he can go

235
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: kind of be under the radar. When you blow games

236
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: that you've spent two and a half hours trying to

237
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: build up the lead and give yourself a chance to win,

238
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: and then somebody comes in and you know, gives it

239
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: away in like two minutes. It absolutely crushes the clubhouse,

240
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: It crushes the fans, and it puts them into a

241
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: frenzy and they have been letting him here and it

242
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: kills the vibe. Look, he doesn't want to be here.

243
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: We know it. He knows it. If he's still on

244
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: the team by Memorial Day, I'll be shocked. If I'm

245
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: Brian Cashman, I'm not worried about trading low. You were

246
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: already going to be trading, you know, Cortes at some point.

247
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: It hurts to give up Durban right now, especially since

248
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: he could have played second base, which could have allowed

249
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: you to leave Jazzism at third. But hey, I mean,

250
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: he messed up. It is what it is. You just

251
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: eat it and you move on. I know trades don't

252
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: typically happen this early, but if he's still a Yankee

253
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: by Memorial Day, it's a mistake. Rip the band aid off,

254
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: move on, see what you can get. That is my

255
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: unsolicited advice to Devin Williams. And we've got some reinforcements coming.

256
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: It sounds like John than Lowizaga could be moving right along.

257
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: He is rehabbing at single A. Also, we've got Luis

258
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: Heal throwing in the outfield today. But Lewisaca is really

259
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: going to help the bullpen. You know, he can kind

260
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: of slid into where Luke Weaver was now. I think

261
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: they'll ease him back in. I think they'll kind of

262
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: give him some low leverage situations first, but he's been

263
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: pitching on the side. I don't know how long his

264
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: rehab assignment's going to be. I know the max is

265
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: thirty days. I don't know if they'll use it because

266
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: in spring training a lot of times relief pitchers, they

267
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: don't need as many outings as a starter. I mean,

268
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: you're throwing less innings. You don't have to be as

269
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: built up. You just have to feel like you have

270
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: command and like you feel healthy. He might pitch four

271
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: or five games and be back in New York. We

272
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: could see him in a couple of weeks. Early May

273
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: would be my prediction. Also, John Carlos Stanton continues to

274
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: hit on the field. It'll be interesting to see how

275
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: that shakes out, or if they slow walk it. Ben

276
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Rice been playing well. The Yankees got Ben Rice behind

277
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: it dish today at the end of the game. That's interesting.

278
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: They might be looking for other avenues to get him

279
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: at bats. I don't want him to become the backup catcher.

280
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: I think a scar is in that role, and then

281
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: you know you're not getting as many at bats for Rice.

282
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: But you got to find a way to get him

283
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: at bats. If I'm the Yankees, I'm just biting the

284
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: bullet and doing a straight up platoon at DH with

285
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: Rice against righty's and Stanton against lefties. I think that

286
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: maximizes what you'll get out of Stanton, and I think

287
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: it maximizes what you'll get out of Rice. I know

288
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: Rice has had some shots against lefties, but he'll he'll

289
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: play better, his numbers will be better if he's only

290
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: facing righties, basically. But if I were the Yankees, I

291
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: would also kind of reach out to Stanton and see, hey, look,

292
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: is there a team out west that you would be

293
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: willing to go and play for? And then maybe reach

294
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: out maybe somebody could use a bat. You eat a

295
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: bunch of the contract, maybe you know, eighty percent of

296
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: the contract, ninety percent of the contract, just to move

297
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: the roster spot, and then you don't have to do

298
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: this kind of you know, chess maneuvering around with the roster.

299
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: But that's where we are. We're gonna get a quick

300
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: word from our sponsor, True Classic, and then I'll be

301
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: back to take on on your audience reactions and hopefully

302
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: the voicemails will work. It's reactions. This episode brought to

303
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: you by True Classic. You know a lot of people

304
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: have mentioned in the in the comments that I've lost

305
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: some weight, and it's true. I started losing weight right

306
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: after the season. I haven't had any soda, any sugar

307
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,400

321
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and take a few comments here.

322
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: Lorie C Says they wouldn't dump DJ's money. They're definitely

323
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: not eating Stantons. You're probably not wrong.

324
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: I think we got to give Cody Bellinger the Spencer

325
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: Torkalsin treatment. There. The dude stands almost straight up in

326
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: the most unathletic position pre pitch, and he just doesn't

327
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: even look like an athlete in the box. Then has

328
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: that big loopy swing like a look at Bob Bashett,

329
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: look at some of these other guys that are crowds

330
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: out looking like they're actually gonna do something. This guy

331
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: just stands there and it's not working, Like change it up.

332
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: He looks awful in the box. He doesn't even look

333
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: like he's actually ready to bat half the time. It

334
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: looks like he's just unsatisfied, lazy. I don't even know

335
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: what to say. It just looks like he's barely even

336
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 2: thinking about anything.

337
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: Definitely doesn't look I appreciate the call. It goes on

338
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: like that for a little bit. You should start doing

339
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: more rants, Brian, No, Look, Bellinger's been a little bit

340
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: disappointing offensively. I'm still holding out hope because he does

341
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: have a track record and he's a good player. He

342
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: is a good player. When I had Krats on before

343
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: the season for over Unders, he said that Bellinger was

344
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: basically doing the same thing when he was having his

345
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: MVP season where he was standing straight up and he

346
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: was almost completely still. Now, the issue with that is

347
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: you don't really see a timing mechanism, right. It just

348
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: kind of seems like he has to, you know, trigger

349
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: it on his own, and a lot of guys you'll

350
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: see a toe tap or you'll see a waggle or whatever.

351
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't really have much of that, so maybe that's

352
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: disrupting his timing a little bit. He swings very hard,

353
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: and he does have kind of a loopy swing, but

354
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's at his best, like you know,

355
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: kind of like why doing what Oswaldo has been doing,

356
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: where you're taking fastballs away and hitting them the other

357
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: way right, and then you turn on those pitches down in,

358
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: down and in and hitting them in the seats. That's

359
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: what he was doing in the spring training. He's kind

360
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: of gotten a little bit away from it. You gotta

361
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: call here about Max Free. It's going on, Derek s

362
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: Matt calling from Florida.

363
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: I love to see it.

364
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: So some's you ever wish.

365
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: They'd save all these runs for games that Max Free

366
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: doesn't start, because it'd be a little more useful.

367
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair, well, you know that makes sense.

368
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. There was one or

369
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: two games where he got a lot of run support

370
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: and didn't do much. Whether I get the first game

371
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: of the season he didn't and make it out of

372
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: the fifth inning, and he got a bunch of a

373
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: run support, but he could really be uh, you know,

374
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: six and oh at this point right, So hey, I'm

375
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: not going to complain about runs ever. You just wish

376
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: that they would do this more often.

377
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, Derek, See you can call a compliment good

378
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 2: news and bad news about Anthony VOLTI. The good news

379
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: is he hit a home run today. The bad news

380
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: is hit a home run today. Here we go again.

381
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes when he hits a home run, he gets

382
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: into home run mode, and we don't want him to

383
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: do that. We want him to stay on top of

384
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: the ball and keep hitting line drives. So we got

385
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: another game coming up here in about twenty minutes. Uh,

386
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: my cat is rubbing up against my leg. He's ready

387
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: for dinner, So I gotta go take care of that.

388
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: But I'll be back here after the game, hopefully with

389
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,920

399
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: the day goes to Lori C who says, can't believe

400
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: Derek gave up gummy worms. I gave up all sugar.

401
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: I stopped eating. That's actually that's not true. I still

402
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: will have like white bread, or I'll still have pasta,

403
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: which you know, it's it's got some some sugar like it.

404
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: You know, basically it's carbs turns into sugar. But candy,

405
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: soda cake. I used to eat Canola's like they're going

406
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: out of style. All that stuff gone. The sugar in

407
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: my coffee is splenda, so it's like not real sugar.

408
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: It is what it is. But yeah, help the lot
